John 2:6-11
6NowG1161 sixG1803 stoneG3035 water jarsG5201 had beenG1510 setG2749 thereG1563 forG2596 theG3588 JewishG2453 rites of purificationG2512. Each could holdG5562 fromG303 twenty to thirty gallonsG1417G2228G5140G3355.1 7JesusG2424 toldG3004 the servants, “FillG1072 theG3588 jarsG5201 with waterG5204.”
SoG2532 they filledG1072 themG846 toG2193 the brimG507.
8“NowG3568 draw some outG501,” He saidG3004, “andG2532 takeG5342 it to theG3588 master of the banquetG755.”
TheyG5342 did so, 9andG1161 theG3588 master of the banquetG755 tastedG1089 theG3588 waterG5204 that had been turned intoG1096 wineG3631. He did not knowG3756G1492 whereG4159 it was fromG1510, butG1161 theG3588 servantsG1249 whoG3588 had drawnG501 theG3588 waterG5204 knewG1492. ThenG3588 he calledG5455 theG3588 bridegroomG3566 aside 10andG2532 saidG3004, “EveryoneG3956 servesG5087 theG3588 fineG2570 wineG3631 firstG4412, and thenG2532 theG3588 cheapG1640 wine afterG3752 the guests are drunkG3184. But youG4771 have savedG5083 theG3588 fineG2570 wineG3631 untilG2193 nowG737!”
11JesusG2424 performedG4160 thisG3778, the firstG746 of HisG3588 signsG4592, atG1722 CanaG2580 in GalileeG1056. He thusG2532 revealedG5319 HisG846 gloryG1391, andG2532 HisG846 disciplesG3101 believedG4100 inG1519 HimG846.
